• Traditional Training Methods

2

• Objectives
• Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of
  presentational, hands-on, and group building
  training methods.
• Provide recommendations for effective on-the-job
  training.
• Develop a case study.
• Develop a self-directed learning module.
• Discuss the key components of behavior modeling
  training.
• Explain the conditions necessary for adventure
  learning to e effective.
• Discuss what team training should focus on to
  improve team performance.

3

• Presentation Methods
• Lecture
• Audiovisual instruction

4

• Variations of the Lecture Method
• Standard Lecture
• Team Teaching
• Guest Speakers
• Panels
• Student Presentations

5

• Hands-on Methods
• On-the-job Training
• Self-directed Learning
• Apprenticeships
• Simulation
• Case Study
• Business Games
• Role Plays
• Behavior Modeling

6

• Process for Case Development
• Identify a story
• Gather Information
• Interviews, library, the web
• Prepare a story outline
• Decide on issues
• Prepare case materials

7

• Apprenticeships
• Training occurs both on and off the job
• In the U.S, run mainly through unions
• StrengthsTransfer of training, earn while you
  learn, trained for industry, up-to-date equipment
• Weaknesses limited access, sensitive to
  fluctuations in unemployment, variable quality

8

• Apprenticeship Example
• Plumbers-Pipefitters
• Work 40 hours per week
• Attend evening classes 6 nights per month, 4
  hours per evening
• Year 1
• Basic math related to pipework
• Isometric drawing and blueprint reading
• Use and care of tools

9

• Apprenticeships Example (Cont)
• Year 2
• City, State, Federal codes
• Advanced blueprint reading and drawing
• Shop small piping project
• Year 3
• Shop work on heating equipment
• Year 4
• OSHA regulations
• Theory of refrigeration and air conditioning
• Shop - welding

10

• Simulation
• System that duplicates the actions and responses
  of a piece of equipment or physical environment
  in which an activity will occur
• Can use it to assess skill levels, encourage
  trying new skills, illustrate relationship
  between person and actions
• Test decision-making
• Reduce risk related to training

11

• Applied Behavior Modification
• Step 1Identify Specific Behavior
• Step 2Measure, count, and Formulate
• Step 3Perform the ABC Analysis
• Step 4Action Plan and Strategies
• Positive Reinforcement
• Negative Reinforcement
• Extinction
• Punishment
• Step 5Evaluation of critical Behavior comparing
  Baseline versus after Action Behavior

12

• Group Building Methods
• Adventure Learning
• Team Training
• Action Learning
